Holi, the festival of colours, turned unfortunate for some revellers who sustained injuries and had to be rushed to civic-run hospitals in the city. In total, four patients required admission, while several others were treated in the OPD and later discharged.
Out of the four admitted patients, two were admitted to Lokmanya Tilak Hospital in Sion and two to B.L. Nair Hospital in Mumbai Central. At Sion Hospital, one patient was admitted to the orthopaedic department, while another was admitted to the surgery department with injuries. The remaining two patients were admitted to Nair Hospital. Additionally, seven patients received treatment in the OPD at KEM Hospital, while ten patients were treated in the OPD at Cooper Hospital.
Holi was celebrated with pomp and splendour around India on Friday, with people soaking in the festivities by smearing `gulaal` on each other and exchanging greetings and sweets. Homes and streets wore a colourful look as the revellers splashed colours and feasted on traditional delicacies.
Holi, also known as the festival of colors, is a time when people come together to celebrate the arrival of spring, the triumph of good over evil, and the joy of life.
The festival of Holi began across the country on Thursday with Choti Holi. People come together to celebrate with colors, music, and traditional festivities.
From temples to streets, vibrant hues and joyous gatherings mark the onset of the festival, symbolising the triumph of good over evil.
